Letter: Candidate takes helping neighbors to next level

In today’s fast-paced world, it sometimes seems that neighbors don’t often get to know one another anymore. Houses are closer together but neighbors often seem farther apart. We are very fortunate that this is not the case on our street in Oakleaf Manor, as we have such wonderful neighbors.

One such neighbor is Lydia Wales. Lydia and her husband, John have been our neighbors for over 14 years. We have had the pleasure of watching their children grow into adulthood right from our front porch.

Lydia has always gone out of her way to help us and all of our neighbors whenever it is needed. This extends beyond our street, as we have seen her so involved in various Franklin activities.
